The surface has to be sanded lightly to give the paint some bite, but you
should have something that will last.

I had a lot of cheap, crappy white plastic college student furniture that my
wife wanted to become slate blue crappy plastic college furniture.
After some experimentation with various oil and water-based paints, and
different types of brushes, I determined that the only thing to do is spray
it with oil-based spray paint. That still peels off, but it lasts longer
than brushed-on stuff, which peels off if you look at it cross-eyed.
